UPDATED - Artist Biography

 Kaela Murphy is a biracial artist who grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan, and currently lives and works out of Lethbridge, Alberta.  She is currently pursuing a BFA degree in Studio Art from the University of Lethbridge.  Murphy's work often includes water-based inks, charcoal, and sometimes her own hair, as she addresses her experiences of being a biracial woman through her work.  Her most recent work responds to her experiences of unsolicited commentary and physical interactions with others through the use of public posters.  She is interested in utilizing public space to create a public sphere in which people can be presented with an opportunity to identify with, and further understand the concerns of racial microaggressions.
